Scouting to Specific Locations

Agriculture Pix4Dfields Feature Request
1

I would like to have a feature that I could export identified points of interest to a crop scout’s phone. The idea is to be able to stick a pin in an ortho or index map that needs ground inspection. Workflow could be as follows: 1. Upload the photos and develop the indexes. 2. The user creates pins at the points of interest. 3. The pin points with coordinates are sent to a crop scouts phone. 4. The crop scout is guided to the point location in the field. 5. The crop scout inspects the point location and makes notes and takes pictures or video of the crop and the issue. 6. The pics are uploaded back to the Pix4d file. 7. Back in the Pix4d the user can then click on the points and inspect the pictures and notes.

That is a great idea, we will consider for the future.
Do you know that you can already uplaod maps and vegetation index data as well as scouting points to our cloud solution? This data can be shared with a weblink and opened on a phone and it will show the GPS location of the phone on the map.

:briefcase: To share an orthomosaic, a vegetation index layer, and some point annotations to PIX4Dcloud and get a shareable web link in PIX4Dfields, follow these steps:

  1. Select Export : From the right corner of the top bar, click on the Export option.
  2. Open Share Menu : Click on the Share option to open the Share to PIX4Dcloud menu.
  3. Select Layers : Choose the layers you want to upload and share, such as the orthomosaic Visual , the vegetation index map, and the point annotations.
  4. Define Output Size : Select the output size of the layers by choosing between 25%, 50%, or 100% image scale. Note that 100% maintains full resolution, while smaller scales result in faster uploads.
  5. Modify Project Name Optional : The name of the Share to PIX4Dcloud project is predefined by the name of the PIX4Dfields desktop project, but you can modify it before uploading.
  6. Upload : Click Upload. After a successful upload, a PIX4Dcloud project link will be displayed in a pop-up window.
